(a) An institution shall determine when a student is
ready to enroll and succeed in entry-level academic coursework using:
(1) Student performance on one or more assessments
as provided by §4.57 of this subchapter (relating to Texas Success
Initiative Assessment College Readiness Standards), including scores
resulting from a student's retaking of a board approved assessment
instrument; and
(2) Developmental Courses or Non-Course-Based Developmental
Education Interventions.
(b) An institution may enroll a non-exempt, undergraduate
student who has not met the readiness standard on the TSI Assessment
in an entry-level academic course if the student is co-enrolled in
developmental education, as defined in §4.53(7) of this subchapter
(relating to Definitions). Successful completion of the entry-level
academic course with a grade of 'C' or better shall be demonstration
of the student's college readiness for the corresponding subject area,
as provided in §4.54(c)(3) of this subchapter (relating to Exemption),
independent of the student's performance in Developmental Courses
or Non-Course-Based Developmental Education Interventions.
(c) A student may retake a Board-approved assessment
instrument at any time, subject to availability, to determine the
student's readiness to perform entry-level freshman coursework.
(d) An institution shall, as soon as practicable and
feasible, indicate a student's readiness in reading, mathematics,
and writing on the transcript of each student. Student readiness in
mathematics shall be indicated as either:
(1) ready for entry-level mathematics coursework; or
(2) ready only for non-Algebra intensive courses, including
MATH 1332/1342/1442 (or their local equivalent).
